It is with great pleasure that I share with you a development in Dennis’ work on sacred agriculture. Kensuke Shimizu has translated the book into Japanese and it is now available for those who want to deepen their understanding of biodynamics and the inner work that underlies it.

In Sacred Agriculture, Dennis shares his insights into the inner development required to work effectively with the elemental nature of the earth. He describes how cultivating our own inner capacities is just as important as cultivating the soil or applying the preps. This is not a recipe book, but a guide into perceiving what nature is asking for. For many of you who follow Dennis’ work, this inner method is at the heart of how he arrives at new insights and practices.

If you would like to support this new translation, please thank Kensuke and buy the Japanese version here. If a Spanish edition would be helpful, please thank Martin and find it for buy the Spanish edition here. To read the orginal English edition, you may find it here.
Several years ago Dennis recorded an extended interview on writing Sacred Agriculture for a Spanish-speaking audience. It was originally filmed in English, and you can watch it here.

Finally, to hear it in his own words in its original form, here is a series of lectures that inspired the book: Sacred Agriculture Lecture Series.

Thank you for your continued support of this work.

Warmly,
Ben
